The intercooler will undo any straightening that happens ahead of it.

That’s why you need 2 of them.

So, no data to back any of this up? No dynos to show it’s not just a big air restriction. Just “people report x and y”. Hmmmm

Reminds me of this guy https://www.tornadoair.com/

Since the main purpose is to catch debris, and assuming it actually does that, comparing it to the TornadoAir is not very fair.

Not really comparing, just said it reminded me of. "Stick this thing in your pipes, and things will be better". With no data to back it up.

This is the wishy-washy part:

"Air Flow Straightener: The Debris Screen also functions as an air flow straightener, making the flow thru the induction tubing more laminar, smoother, and faster. Many report smoother idle and crisper throttle response."

The same thing kids say after changing their oil or performing some other insignificant and unrelated maintenance. 928 was just smart enough not to say faster and smoother airflow = better MPG or more power. It'd still be nice to see an after dyno to make sure it's not just a restriction. Surely they did dyno it and chose not to post the results.
